as dan said, HD Is amazing through it, i have an xbox hd dvd player and a hdmi dvd player both are excellent quality through it.

Looks amazing, on screen menus are brilliant with ease of use and loads of adjustments and 4 pre-set modes!

Cant reccoment it highly enough.

I think it looks ace.

One thing i do dislike is the chime thing it makes when turned on, cool to start with, but when u cant stop it or change volume of it, at 5am when i get up for work, its rather noisy lol

we said we wanted a warrenty so he offered us 6 months free currys warrenty. took the money off the tele and set up a direct debit.

so got the tele for £750

He means the surround of the tv itself, I read it as you did first time around jambo.

The sound was reviewed as good but from what i've seen the image was sub par.

Good at the price point by the looks of it.

On the surround of it, I totally agree, the curved samsungs went out of fashion in a couple of years, they look really old now.
